Palaeoecological response to Greenlandian (Early Holocene) climatic changes: Insight from an abandoned-channel sequence of the Meuse River at Autrecourt-et-Pourron (Ardennes, France)
Abstract A Greenlandian (Early Holocene) palaeochannel of the Meuse River is described from Autrecourt-et-Pourron in the Ardennes region of northern France. During the Younger Dryas, fluvial deposits represent a high-energy, sinuous palaeochannel, but at the onset of the Holocene, progressive channel abandonment resulted in the establishment of a low-energy meandering river system. Well-dated studies using palynology, carpology, malacology and geomorphology reveal a Greenlandian succession of changes in fluvial dynamics and vegetation. Between 11,700 and 11,400 cal yr BP, warmer temperatures led to the development of a birch community (Betula sp.) within an open grassland, dominated by herb…
Relations entre sociétés et environnement en Petite Seine du Mésolithique à la fin du Moyen Âge : nouvelles problématiques et résultats récents d’archéologie environnementale
Actes du colloque Arkéaube; International audience; This jointly authored paper encompasses several contributions which highlight new issues in environmental archaeology and incorporate palaeo-environmental data from preventiveexcavations. More specifically, it broaches three questions:-The evolution of the environment from the Late Glacial to the present day is analysed using faunal remains (malacofaunae—molluscs, etc.) and botanicalremains (pine trunks) preserved in the alluvial deposits of the river Seine;-Riverside occupations based on reconstructions of the hydrography and hydrographic functioning of the channels documented in the Pont-sur-Seine sector and in Bassée;-The marshes assume…
